My Majlis Bersanding Vendors

It's been more than three months since our wedding. Tapi nak jugak hapdet pasal vendors. Hehe.

Alhamdulillah, our wedding reception went on smoothly. Phew! *wipe sweat off the forehead*

The day may not went off perfectly as planned; i was ready all made up at 11.30am (supposed to go off to the hall at 12.45pm), i didn't get the chance to take even a photo with ALL of my bridesmaids (sedihhh), didn't get to do outdoor photoshoot at Putrajaya as planned (time constraint), and deejay of the day totally sucks..

Despite all that, we had a great time! So happy to see friends and relatives. So glad that ramai orang cakap makanan sedap. So relieved that doorgift semua cukup (even though ada a few people tak dapat. Sebab semasa pengantin datang segala AJK Doorgift meluru ke pelamin tengok pengantin. Maaf!). So kembang hidung bila orang puji baju cantik, especially the emerald green color that we chose (all credit to Hubster. He chose that color).

i got to know Glamstylista Boutique's from a friend (whom i met just once!). Semasa proses men-survey, we were looking for a boutique that offers newly-made bridal attire for rent. Meaning they make the bridal clothes according to our taste and size. Sebabnya husband nak sangat pakai warna emerald green (i admit i was skeptical at first but i'm glad i agreed on emerald green!) and there were not many boutique have that color. Kebetulan Glamstylista tengah buat promotion - no charges for newly-made bridal attire. Harga pakej within budget, we agreed to book them.

The owner, Lissa, dealt with us on everything. She designed the clothes according to what we want (kami mahukan baju cam wedding Elyana kat Mentakab). Pelamin and decoration was done as promised. Customer service was okay. Tak ada case kene tipu ke apa.

The only problem i had was the skirt for my baju kurung modern. The one Glamstylista made was not up to my expectation. It made me look 4 times my size (i'm not kidding - all my friends who saw my dress-fitting pictures said i look FAT). Lissa said they can't alter it. i was frustrated. i ended up making my own mermaid skirt. Will elaborate on that.

Naik pelamin!
i love how our emerald green wedding attire pops out against the white dais and peachy pengapits.

Bride's Mermaid Skirt by Madukara Suteramas

Because i was not satisfied with the skirt that Glamstylista provided (as part of the wedding package) i decided to make one. Linda introduced me to Eusoph from Madukara Suteramas. Hasilnya? Sangat memuaskan! He made me a 16-panel skirt (macam Elyana punya lah), doesn't make me look fatter than i actually was and harga berpatutan.

.. Alhamdulillah we're happier than ever! Takda gaduh-gaduh (mintak jauhhh!), susah berenggang, rasa lebih tenang. At the same time we have seperate 'me' time - i have girls day/nights out, he has his boys time.
